A Quantum Network System of QSS-QDC Using χ-Type Entangled States

Abstract

A multiuser quantum direct communication network system for N users utilizing χ-type entangled states is proposed. The network system is composed of a communication center, N users, and N quantum lines linking the center and the N users. There is no quantum line among users, and therefore only N quantum lines are necessary for communication between users. Using one χ-type entangled state, in this protocol we are able to send two bits of information through direct communication and, at the same time, share two bits of quantum keys. The security of the protocol is then analyzed.

Comment on “A Quantum Network System of QSS-QDC Using χ-Type Entangled States" [Chin. Phys. Lett. 29 (2012) 050303]

Two quantum secret sharing (QSS) protocols in a multiuser quantum direct communication (QDC) network system were put forward by Hong et al. [ Chin. Phys. Lett. 29 (2012) 050303 ]. However, we find that either agent (Bob or Charlie) alone can obtain half the information about the sender's secret without collaboration with the other, which does not satisfy the security requirement of QSS. Moreover, the secret message sent by Alice in the second protocol can be eavesdropped on or its communication can be disturbed by the builder of quantum channels (Trent).

Cryptanalysis of a multi-user quantum network system and quantum communication using χ-type entangled states

A quantum secure direct communication and quantum key distribution(QSDC-QKD) protocol based on χ-type entangled states was recently proposed by Hong et al. [J. Korean Phys. Soc. 61 , 1 (2012)]. By analyzing the protocol, we find that it is not secure; that is, the eavesdropper can eavesdrop on half of Bob’s secret messages and half of Alice’s secret keys without introducing any error.

Cryptanalysis and Improvement of a Quantum Network System of QSS-QDC Using χ-Type Entangled States

Gan Gao, Ming Fang, Mu-Tian Cheng

In the paper [ Chin. Phys. Lett. 29 (2012) 050303 ] of Hong et al., two quantum secret sharing protocols were proposed. We study the security of the second protocol and find that it is insecure. Acting as the communication center, Trent may eavesdrop Alice's secret messages without introducing any error. Finally, a feasible improvement of the second protocol is given.

Three-party quantum secret sharing of secure direct communication based on χ-type entangled states

Yu‐Guang Yang, Weifeng Cao, Wen Qiao-yan

Based on χ-type entangled states and the two-step protocol [Deng F G, Long G L and Liu X S 2003 Phys. Rev. A 68 042317], a quantum secret sharing protocol of secure direct communication based on χ-type entangled states |χ 00 ⟩ 3214 is proposed. Using some interesting entanglement properties of this state, the agent entirety can directly obtain the secret message from the message sender only if they collaborate together. The security of the scheme is also discussed.

Authenticated Multiuser Quantum Direct Communication using Entanglement Swapping

Changho Hong, Ji‐In Kim, Hwayean Lee +1 more

We present Authenticated Multiuser Quantum Direct Communication(MQDC) protocols using entanglement swapping. Quantum direct communication is believed to be a safe way to send a secret message without quantum key distribution. The authentication process in our protocol allows only proper users to participate in communication. In the communication stage after the authentication, any two authorized users among n users can communicate each other even though there is no quantum communication channels between them. For this protocol, we need only n quantum communication channels between the authenticator and n users. It is similar to the present telephone system in which there are n communication channels between telephone company and users and any two designated users can communicate each other using telephone line through the telephone company. The securities of our protocols are analysed to be the same as those of other quantum key distribution protocols.
